## Resource

Did the story end with the martyrdom of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj? Absolutely not. In this powerful episode of the Immortal India Podcast , bestselling author Amish Tripathi takes you beyond the final scenes of Chhava to uncover the true story of what happened next. Aurangzeb may have tortured Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, but he couldn’t crush the Maratha spirit. From Chhatrapati Rajaram Maharaj’s strategic resistance at Gingee to the fearless leadership of Queen Tarabai, the Marathas launched a relentless war spread over decades that bled the Timurid-Mughal Empire dry. You’ll also hear of valiant uprisings by the Jats, Sikhs, Satnamis, Ahoms, Naga Sadhus, and others — all united against the tyranny of Aurangzeb. Using sources like Maasir-i-Alamgiri , Futuhat-i-Alamgiri , and Storia-do-Mogor by Manucci, Amish uncovers how indigenous India fought back against the foreign rule of the Timurid-Mughals. The Maratha resistance wasn’t just military—it was a nationalist movement of Hindavi Swarajya that helped shape modern India. Tune in to rediscover stories of valour, strategy, and unity. And reflect—should we still honour Aurangzeb in our country?
